CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. & PLYMOUTH, IND. - The final results of the NJCAA Division III Men's Golf Championships at Chautauqua Golf Course, is beginning to feel a bit like a rinse-and-repeat situation as the College of DuPage placed third behind the same two teams for the fourth consecutive year. The Chaparrals did see three players earn NJCAA All-American accolades with top-18 finishes. Meanwhile, the trio of Black Hawk College, Highland Community College, and Bryant & Stratton College finished 17th, 20th, and 21st, respectively, at the NJCAA Division II Men's Golf Championships at Swan Lake Golf Resort.
The College of DuPage played consistent golf throughout the week, opening with back-to-back 18-hole scores of 306 on the first two days of competition. Trailing Georgia Military by 14 shots entering Round 3, they turned in a 298 score to attempt to put more pressure on the top of the leaderboard. A final day 304 solidified yet another third place finish with a four-day total of 1,214 to sit 28 shots back of second place Georgia Military and 78 strokes behind Sandhills Community College, which won its fifth straight national title. Nathan Kwiatkowski paced the Chaps with a 294 (72-78-71-73/+6) to place eighth overall and earn NJCAA Second Team All-American.
